The types for ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN and ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN are not always
the same, as seen by building ARM collie_defconfig:
mm/slob.c: In function 'kfree':
mm/slob.c:482:153: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
mm/slob.c: In function 'ksize':
mm/slob.c:501:153: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
Using max_t to find the correct alignment avoids the warning.

Wouldn't it be better to avoid this problem more generally by casting the
__alignof__ for ARCH_{KMALLOC,SLAB}_MINALIGN to int in slab.h? All
architectures that define these themselves will be using plain integers,
the problem is __alignof__ returning size_t when undefined.

I thought about it but I wasn't sure if that would cover all possible
cases. My version at least is known not to introduce a different type
mismatch on another architecture.
Also, size_t seems to be the correct type here, while the untyped
definition is just an int.

Ok, sounds good, thanks.
